Keizan Jokin is regarded as the second founder of Soto Zen. Menzan Zuiho (1683-1769) made Dogen and his writings the central source of doctrine in Soto, and Gento Sokuchu de-emphasised the use of koans in Soto. In the modern era the most famous is probably Sawaki Kodo.

Not attempting to nitpick, but it was my understanding that Dogen didn't emphasize Koan practice, either. To him, the world, or mind, as-it-is, is the Genjokoan. The mind is a koan that can liberate when penetrated.

Also, Taizan Maezumi Roshi was pretty famous... and he was a Soto lineage holder as well.
